Thread: Ticking noise

Nail in tread that exposes at speed?

Swap tyres for spare, one by one... If it goes...

There are grease nipples there, and looks exactly like the one in the RAVE diagrams.
But I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess they're not the same ones you guys are talking about...??

How would I know if the props need attention? Looks like my mech has done some greasing on both of the props at the last recent service . But it was ticking before then too.

I did notice though that the drivers bumpstop (?... square rubber with metal plate and single bolt) has considerably more play in it than the passenger side. So I "persuaded" it a little, took it for a short run, tried to get up to speed, and the ticking seemed less noticeable....probably more coincidence than anything! But I might try "persuading" it a little more tomorrow and see if it makes a difference. I hope so!!

Cheers for all the info and suggestions (again!) so far guys. Appreciate it.
